Papertrey July Blog Hop Challenge

Hey everyone!
Just a quick post before I jump into the pool again – here’s the card I made with lovely inspiration from the folks at Papertrey Ink:

And here’s my card:

On the card you’ll find all of the above colours (plus a little black thrown in for contrast) and some of the gorgeous Papertrey products.
I used the following: Harvest Gold Cardstock, Background: Newsprint stamp set, Bitty Box patterned paper in Summer Sunrise and Twill Ribbon in Chartreuse as well as Solid Satin Ribbon in Melonberry.

Thanks for looking!
I’m off – you’ve gotta enjoy the sun while it’s there! *whee* B)
See ya!

P.S. And, of course, credit where it is due: the card idea is from this lovely number (3rd card) created by Dawn McVey
P.S.S. Apparently the sun is making me all dizzy – I shouldn’t forget to mention that this die-cut was made and given to me by my lovely friend Dana, thanks girl!!

Hi, Canon!

So yesterday my boyfriend got me a new camera.
My old one was driving me crazy ‘cos there was a spot on the lens that would of course show up in every single photo. Not dramatic, but annoying all the same.
So now I’ve got a semi-professional camera, a Canon Ixus 310 HD.
It’s compact and produces really cool photos, even in auto setting.
This one here, for example, is not even processed (except for adding my watermark):

Cool, huh?
So yeah, this is a card I made some nights ago after a long day full of translating marketing stuff  The “sketch” for this one is Dawn’s adorable card following the release of Studio Calico’s new kit.
Random insert: Okay, this is weird, a soap bubble just came in through the tilted window and floated onto my desk to pop. Um yeah… where was I?

Ah right, I wanted to show you the whole card. Tadaa:

The composition is similar to her card, except I used different materials (also: no die-cut machine) and I decided to tilt the tag. I really love how this turned out and can’t wait to try the other designs from her post.
So if you’ll excuse me now, I’ve got to get my paper out
